The whole set is presented in an A4 cover with notes on how the original map & its present version were produced. ...

This famous set of mathematical tables was first published in 1803. It has been a bestseller ever since, & despite developments in electronic navigation it remains an essential requirement for anyone learning & practising astro-navigation.

One of Britains foremost printmakers, Norman Ackroyd CBE RA has spent a lifetime recording the coastal landscapes of the British Isles. A Shetland Notebook contains forty of his vivid landscape sketches in watercolour. Made in the open air, often aboard a pitching & tossing fishing boat, these lively, spontaneous works capture the unique atmosphere of these remote & beautiful islands. The notebooks unusual format is due entirely to the artist, who uses sheets of various types of paper torn to fit into a loose-leaf ring binder made from two pieces of wooden picture-backing; this he tucks into his coat pocket, ready for use whenever the need arises. His brief but engaging commentaries place each sketch in its context. Following the success of A Line in the Water, Ackroyds collaboration with the award-winning poet Douglas Dunn OBE, published by the Royal Academy in 2009, A Shetland Notebook is an essential purchase for all admirers of this most characterful artists work. ...

Norman Mailer was one of the most famous writers of his generation. People who have never read a word that he wrote know who he was because of his fame as a novelist or journalist, or his notoriety because of his womanising, his rivalries with other writers, his appearances on television, his political outspokenness & his prominence as a leading intellectual of his era. A provocative chronicler of the second half of the twentieth century, both as a journalist & a novelist, works such as The Naked & the Dead & The Executioner`s Song vividly define a moment in American history. J. Michael Lennon was authorised by Mailer to write his biography, & as such has had access to family & friends, & to unpublished documents & letters. Norman Mailer: A Double Life reflects Mailer`s dual identities: journalist & activist, devoted family man & notorious philanderer, intellectual & fighter, writer & public figure, Jew & atheist. Whether you admired him or loathed him, he was remarkable & unique. His was an astonishing life. ...
